Here is chapter two, I honestly don't know how long this story will be, but I'll try my best with it.
Arg, I will say this, Gamzee is a pain in the ass to write for. I try to keep as close to his normal way of speaking as possible but it's not easy. I talk like Tavros, rather nervous with a lot of 'uhhs' and 'umms' in my speech, so he's easy, but I don't talk like Gamzee so it's a bit hard. Oh well.
On with the fic.
Titles and Registration
Chapter two
In the end, Tavros was too nervous to talk to Gamzee on the phone and he felt so uncomfortable doing so. I mean, he wasn't one to talk much either, unless if he was LARPing, then you couldn't get him to shut up. He sat at his desk, glancing at his phone and was tempted to call, very tempted.
He put in the number, labled it Gamzee, all he had to do was pick it up and call.
But damnit! He was nervous! Normally he only ever called his dad or he called his friends if he needed help, they usually called him. As he reached out, he paused and just let his hand drop. Damnit, he couldn't do it, he didn't want to be rude. So he could just try and talk to his new friend online! Yeah! That was easy!
Loading up a chat window, Tavros logged in and typed in the name 'terminallyCapricious' to his contacts and waited for his invitation to be friends be accepted. It only took a moment before he heard a 'ding' and saw that it was approved. A few seconds later a message window came up.
TC: HoNk! :o) ThAt YoU tAvBro?
Tavros giggled a bit, yep, that's Gamzee alright. He then started to type up a response, under the name 'adiosToreador'.
AT: hI gAMZEE, iTS ME, tAVROS,

TC: MoThErFuCkiN' aWeSoMe! HoNk!
The brunet laughed at this and processeded to spend the next three hours talking with Gamzee about anything think that came to them, such as Gamzee telling him that Faygo was a miracle to man or that Tavros told him about his favorite game to play and that he LARPed. Gamzee seemed excited about that, asking a bunch of questions, but then again, he was a bit high so his interest was probably from that, most people got bored when Tavors' tried to explain things to them.
It wasn't until his father, Rufio, came into his room and told him to go to sleep did Tavros stop talking to Gamzee, who didn't seem happy about having to stop their awesome conversation on creating raps together. After telling the clown-faced man that they could talk about it during class the next day did Gamzee cheer up and get off.
Crawling into bed, Tavros smiled as he hugged his plush bull with wings, which he lovingly named Tinkerbull, and started to doze off, excited to see Gamzee tomorrow in class.
Gamzee spotted the cute brunet rolling himself down the hall, heading for their first class and he grinned. Carefully, he snuck up behind Tavros and let out a rather loud 'HOOONK!', earning a squeal of fear from Tavros. The boy turned quickly, a hand over his heart. "G-Gamzee...! You almost gave me a heart attack...!"
The dark-haired one laughed at ruffled up Tavros' hair. "Sorry bro! Just wanted you to know I arrived!" He flashed a grin at the smaller boy before giving him a quick hug and pushing him down the hall.
"Y-you don't have to push me, I can do it myself." He mumbled but the other heard him, stopping in his steps and placing a hand on Tavros' shoulder.
"Yo bro, I know ya can, but I just like pushin' you around cause I like bein' around ya, you understand what I'm sayin'?" He stared down at Tavros who blinked and blushed lightly again and smiled softly.
"O-oh, alright, you can push me. Just... umm... don't make me run into people or stuff, it's rude, yes?"
"No motherfuckin' problem, Tavbro!" Gamzee honked and pushed him still, getting to the class and going to their table. It was strange, normally Tavros never made friends with someone so quickly, and usually there were lot of awkward moments before they really started talking.
But Gamzee, hell, this guy just got the job done with! He became Tavros' friend so quickly and right now he was acting like they had been buds for years! He was confused and weirded out, especially since Gamzee placed a hand on his shoulder, grinning as he usually did with his relaxed features. "Hey Tavbro, I was thinking."
"Y-yeah?"
"I think you need a piercing."
Well, that caught his off-guard. The brunet's face paled and he stared in shock. "W-what...!? No...! I can't get a piercing..." Ah, color returned to his face, though it was mostly due to the deep blush crossing his cheeks. He couldn't get a piercing, he wasn't a girl and he wasn't one of those cool guys who could pull it off. Heck, he couldn't even really pull off his mohawk!
Gamzee frowned a little. "You worried it might hurt? Don't worry! It only hurts like a motherfucker for a few minutes and then it stops. Don't know on the nose though, it would be cool if you got a nose piercing like a bull, cause then you match your name!" He laughed, smiling once more.
Tavros, blushed even more, looking down at his lap before shaking his head. "No, no Gamzee. It just don't... ummm... feel comfortable with the idea, I don't think it will look good on a guy like me."
"A guy like you would be bitchin' that look!"
"Huh?"
The other snickered. "You'd look great." He corrected himself. Gamzee had the relaxed smile on his face once more before he patted Tavros on the head. "Maybe we can try a simple ear piercing, and when you're ready, you'll look motherfuckin' awesome with that nose ring."
"Uhhh... I guess...?" Well, that was a good enough answer for the man in make up as he let out a victory honk and laid back in his chair, putting his feet up on the table. Tavros gave a small nod and looked at his lap again, brown eyes glancing over at Gamzee. He was wearing the same hoodie from the day before and jeans there were pretty much more hole then jeans. At least his shoes matched today, Tavros almost laughed at how silly Gamzee dressed, much different then the clean, matching clothing that the boy in the wheelchair liked to wear.
Soon class began, but Tavros wasn't paying attention like he usually did. He kept his attention between his own thoughts and the sleeping guy next to him. He was letting his mind wander, mostly around Gamzee and what a strange guy this new kid was. It was as if Gamzee was a guy who did whatever he wanted and said what he wanted, even though his language kept getting him in trouble from the teachers.
But did he care? Nope! He just laughed and honked at them before relaxing, he was such a chill guy. Not like Tavros, always worried, always quiet, always trying to make sure he didn't mess up or get on someone's bad side. Oh how he envied the crazy fool.
"Hey Tavdork!"
"..."
"I know you can hear me stupid, or have you gone deaf as well?"
"I can hear you, I just don't really feel like addressing you..."
"Too late! You just did, Tavidiot!"
Tavros sighed as he sat at lunch, today he was without Gamzee since the guy said he had a doctor's appointment (Which he complained about last night on their chat, saying it wasn't a damn miracle). It was weird, a week had gone by since he first met Gamzee and he felt like he had known the guy for years, and not having him here with him felt really... bothersome. And adding to the bothersome feeling was someone who had been an annoying thorn in his side for far too long.
"Vriska... please leave me alone, I'm not in the mood to deal with you..." He put down his sandwich and pinched the bridge of his nose. Vriska hated him and has always made him her favorite punching bag since they were little. It was pointless for the others at the table to stop Vriska from picking on Tavros, she just ignored them and would keep up her actions.
Vriska frowned at Tavros' cold shoulder and sat down right next to him, in Gamzee's spot, and placed a hand on his shoulder. The grip was tight and her tails were digging into him, making him wince. "Hey Tavdork, don't ignore me. And don't try to act brave either, we both know that your weird drugged up friend isn't here. Where is the pot head anyway?"
"The fuckhead is at an appointment and leave Tavros alone Vriska, can't you see he's not in the mood to deal with your shit?" Tavros turned at the new voice, seeing the crimson stare of Karkat. Of course he knew where Gamzee was, turns out these two had been friends for years and talked to each other, even though Karkat claimed to not be friends with Gamzee. Then again, he tended to claim that he was no one's friend.
The girl gave a 'hmph' as she gripped Tavros' shoulder tightly before giving a shrug. "Whatever, the little idiot was boring me anyway. I like it when he trembles in fear like a fly trapped in a spider's web, but I guess I'm not getting that from him today, since his boyfriend isn't here. Later moron." She flicked Tavros on the head and left, pushing Karkat out of her way.
The black-haired boy grunted and glared daggers before looking down at Tavros. He noticed the boy looked completely stunned and speechless. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" He asked.
Tavros was just... he didn't know what to think, Vriska just cracked an insulting joke by saying Gamzee was his boyfriend, but why did that make his whole face turn a deep red? Maybe it was just because she was making fun of how Gamzee was a guy who didn't seem to know of the term of 'personal space' when he was around Tavros.
So yeah, it was just Vriska making fun of him again! Yeah! ... Right?
Gamzee came back later that day, looking a bit out of it, but guessing from the scent coming from his body, he may have been a bit busy with what he liked to call his 'slime pies'. "Taaaaaaavvvvbrrroooo!" Gamzee grinned, waving at him before rushing over, almost tripping over his own feet. He stopped and laughed. "Hey, sorry I wasn't here for some of our classes, that appointment went on longer then I thought, but it's cause I had a new doctor."
The brunet before him just smiled a little. "Well I hope everything went well,. Uhh... I got your homework and stuff for you, since I didn't see you in class. Did you get to music though?"
"Nah, came too late. Motherfuckin' appointment took too long."
"Oh... then why are you here? Shouldn't you be going home."
The wild haired one grinned and went behind Tavros, pushing him out the front doors and heading towards the bus. "I came to see ya, I love seeing you everyday at school bro." That little comment made Tavros' heart beat a bit faster then usual, he didn't know why.
"W-well, there's my bus..." He blushed, pointing at his bus. How many times will he blush whenever he was around the taller man? "Oh!" He reached into his bag, pulling out his notebook and handing a sheet with stuff written on it. "Here are the assignments for homework, I wrote them down for you so you can do them and not get any zeros."
Gamzee looked at him before grinning, showing his teeth and laughed. "You are motherfuckin' awesome! Miracles again mah bro, caring for me even with such lameass school work!" He let out a bark-like laugh before giving Tavros a hug, lifting him right out of seat before looking at him and kissing his cheek. Right by his lips.
Tavros froze up on the spot, the kiss was waaaaaaaaay too close for comfort in his book and his mind was going nuts over the idea that Gamzee just did that as if it was perfectly normal. Well, okay, maybe it was normal for him, but not for Tavros! The only time he ever got kisses was as a friendly gesture from one of his female friends, but they were usually on the head, and maybe a few times on the cheeks, but not close to the lips!
The idigo-eyed teen grinned, not noticing the shocked face of his friend before putting him down, rubbing his head as usual. "Later Tavbro! Talk to you tonight!" With that, he turned away, leaving Tavros right where he was.
"Uhhhhhh..." Tavros had no idea what the hell to say or do about what just happened, however, Terezi seemed to have a pretty good idea.
"I don't really know what he just did, but I'm sure it was both cute and totally embarrassing." She snickered before walking away from the stunned boy.
TBC
I wasn't sure if I wanted to add in the kiss but I really adore the sweetness one can make this pairing so I had to add it in. And yeah, Gamzee kissed his cheek, but got close to his lip, just barely touching them.
Next chapter: Hmm... I'm thinking of doing a time skip in it, to where Gamzee and Tavros have been friends a bit longer and I'm doing something special for that chapter.
